On the fountain effect in liquid helium II

Description

A theory of generalised continuum mechanics which may provide an alternative to the two-fluid theories of liquid helium II is further developed. The balance laws governing the flow of microscopic excitations in the fluid are reviewed and some simple constitutive equations are postulated which give a possible explanation of the force on a plate emitting heat and also the fountain effect.
